"Rough Sea, Etretat (La Porte d'Aval)" is a renowned painting by the French Impressionist artist Claude Oscar Monet, created in 1883. This work is part of a series of paintings that Monet produced during his stays in Etretat, a small fishing village on the Normandy coast, which was a popular destination for artists due to its dramatic cliffs and natural arches. The painting captures the dynamic movement of the waves and the play of light on the water, characteristic of Monet's fascination with the transient effects of natural light and atmosphere.

The composition focuses on the Porte d'Aval, one of the three famous chalk cliffs at Etretat, with the natural arch and the pointed needle-like rock formation known as L'Aiguille, rising from the sea. Monet's brushwork conveys the roughness of the sea, with thick, energetic strokes that evoke the churning of the waves and the spray of the surf. The palette is dominated by shades of blue, green, and white, reflecting the colors of the sea and the sky.

Monet's series on Etretat, including "Rough Sea, Etretat (La Porte d'Aval)," exemplifies his approach to plein air painting, where he worked outdoors to directly capture the essence of the scene before him. This painting, like others in the series, demonstrates Monet's interest in capturing a specific moment and the changing conditions of light and weather, which is a hallmark of the Impressionist movement.

"Rough Sea, Etretat (La Porte d'Aval)" is not only a testament to Monet's mastery of landscape painting but also a historical document of the Normandy coastline, which has since experienced natural erosion and change. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic significance and is considered an important work within Monet's oeuvre, contributing to our understanding of Impressionist techniques and the artist's personal exploration of the interplay between land, sea, and light.
